Why? It's not like you are forced to watch them
Nobody said we were forced to. I don't want another one either. They ran superheros into the ground years ago. If they make another, I won't watch it. They're exhausting now.
And the movies I like still seem to manage to get financed (Dune, Poor Things...) so I don't need to care about what Marvel does.
There was a time when it felt like only superhero movies would make it to the cinemas, but it seems they over-did it and people got somewhat tired.
Why? It's not like you are forced to watch them
Aren't I though?
Are you though? I stopped watching before infinity war and haven't watched anything marvel since, outside of the one series I actually had interest in.
And yet I'm still inundated by advertising for each movie, making me keenly aware of the thing I don't want constantly rammed down my throat. I've come to expect it at fast food restaurants, but I can't even shop for groceries without Marvel trying to push something at me. I'm not actively watching Marvel movies, but they are still part of my life whether I want them there or not.
Imagine being an “activist investor”.
"activist investor" yeah cool that's about all I needed to know
An investor should not care about anything but box office and whatever grift is going on with "Hollywood accounting". To be concerned with certain aspects of the content being prouduced is counterproductive, especially for investors
The Nintendo investor that loudly asked for a new F-Zero was kinda based ngl

Yeah well, if you check the recent audience scores and opening weekend profits for their films, other people seem to agree with him.
The two Black Panther movies combined have grossed over 2 billion dollars. I wouldn't say that agrees with him. It's also odd to assume that movies which didn't do as well, like The Marvels, were because of a female dominated cast and not because they were just bad movies.
